just pay the overstay is the easy answer or call airline and get changed to day before u leave or pay for a 30 day extension .no point pay for 30 days unless u use them .

as the maintenance fee can be as much as renting a small bungalow id have a rethink about buying one .the bottom line is the company owns the land its sits on !!!.i prefer renting.

you need go an immigration office to extend 30days . after that you need leave thailand and get 60 days again on entry if u want stay more

try the thai one cigma they do over 70's

maybe u need rethink your move .

never been a taxi manila to angeles ,or bkk to pattaya .taxi phuket airport to rawai .800-1000bht. cebu mactan to my condo was 300 pesso (181bht ). i never took any long distance taxis in phils.in palawan taxi to the robinsons was 100 pesso . taxi rawai to chalong about same distance is 300 bhat .so yep phils is cheaper .but like i said when im in north thailand the tuk tuks and taxis are seriously cheaper there than the south . in udon its just 60 bhat to go most places i go .taxi to airport is 200 bhat .its all to do with where u are . and also which servis u use , in phils u get several offers for taxis on grab .

@Symon ********

not so.!! internet as been free in all places ive visited .food very cheap. ,taxis cheap using grab .maybe u just been major citys where it is more expensive ,ive taken many taxis there and they defo cheaper than phuket lol.but yes north thailand the taxis are cheap .

@Mike ****

shure it easy to find a expensive hotel lol.but there are cheap ones too .my advice try air b n b. great deals to be had . yes a standard hotel near airport was £25 .and wasnt impressed ,but all my private stays including the condo at £99 a wk in cebu near the it park was nice. swimming pool and gym too .i never had 1 expensive meal in my whole trip but then i aint daft enough to go an expensive restaurant .i ate and stayed very reasonable especially in palawan in peurto princess .was a great stay loved it there .heading back this coming feb.the only downside is the weather when they get those big storms .and its easier to stay long time .love thailand been going 27 years but they making it harder and harder to stay there or visit long time. this latest tax collecting will most likely see many ex pats go,

Sounds to me like a lot the people commenting on this one ain't actually been there .it is cheaper than thailand.yep some hotels are expensive in the city's but I found it easy in Cebu to rent a condo for a week for £100. On air b n b.beer deffo cheaper.food depends on what u want eat .I did see some 1 comment can't find decent food.lol.i was spoiled for choice and very reasonable.jap food ,Italian etc.and it was cheap.in palawan could find a room £10 up on air b n b.loved it.wasnt impressed with cebu but then it's a big city and a lot poor people.

i already had 60 days and extended for 30 i was heading to kl to get another 60 on way back in but was only needing 30 as my flight home was in the next 30 days ,they wanted see my home flight details but i got the 60 .this was last time after covid they done the 60 days , the young guy on desk was being awkward but a superior over ruled him and gave me the days
